Maintaining a stable and appropriate temperature is critical for the survival of aquatic life.
pH 7.8 - 8.4 potential of HydrogenMeasuring the acidity or alkalinity of water on a 0–14 scale, where 7 is neutral, 7 is alkaline.
NO3 1-20 ppm NitrateWhile less toxic than ammonia, high nitrate levels (above 40–80 ppm) are important to monitor because they can cause fish stress, stunted growth, and harmful algae blooms.
NO2 <0.0001 ppm NitriteIt is a highly toxic, intermediate compound in the nitrogen cycle produced from broken-down ammonia
PO4 0.01 - 0.1 ppm PhosphateIt is essential for plant development but must be managed, as excess levels trigger nuisance algae blooms and inhibit coral calcification.
NH3 <0.1 ppm AmmoniaIt is the primary killer of aquarium fish, causing gill damage, stress, and death
Ca 380 - 450 ppm CalciumSupporting the growth, skeletal structure, and shell formation of corals, mollusks, crustaceans, and coralline algae
KH 8 - 12 dKH AlkalinityIt acts as a shield, neutralizing acids to prevent dangerous pH "crashes" that can harm fish, corals, and plants.
Mg 1200 - 1400 ppm MagnesiumIt enables coral growth by supporting skeletal formation, assists in metabolic processes, and ensures that calcium is available for corals, clams, and coralline algae.
SG 1.023 - 1.026 SG SalinityEssential for maintaining stable, natural water parameters, proper osmoregulation, and stress-free environments for marine fish and corals
ORP 250 - 400 mV Oxidation-Reduction PotentialA higher positive mV indicates clean, oxygen-rich water with high water quality, while low readings indicate high pollution.
The Blueberry Sea Fan has a base that is colored red or orange and has bright blue polyps. It is always set at the center of an aquarium due to its magnificent blue coloration. The Blueberry Sea Fan is not ideal for beginners and should only be maintained by an experienced aquarist.
This are the water parameters for cultivatring a Blueberry Sea Fan:
Blueberry Sea Fans are not photosynthetic. Therefore, they require supplemental feeding such as live micro-plankton, baby brine shrimp and other foods for filter feeders. They further require the addition of nutrients such as calcium, strontium, Iodine and other trace elements.
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Blueberry Sea Fan. Fish are recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.
Since they are not photosynthetic, Blueberry Sea Fan only requires a low level of lighting. However, it needs a strong water flow since it is their ideal environment.
While they are relatively peaceful, it is still recommended that you observe proper spacing with neighboring corals and anemones. Initially, you will need an underwater epoxy to anchor the Blueberry Sea Fan to a live rock.
Blueberry Sea Fan are purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
